SketchUp Pro 2015 is here and it is 64 Bit

Fast, friendly, reliable… and wickedly fun.

Our biggest commitment is to keep SketchUp fast, friendly, and reliable -- for you and your computer. Here’s how we’ve tuned SketchUp 2015:
For the first time ever, we’re offering a 64-bit version for Windows and Mac machines. What's the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit applications, anyway?
We’ve sharpened “Face-Finder,” the code SketchUp uses to create faces while you’re modeling. Look for big improvements in operations like explode, especially in your behemoth-sized models.
SketchUp is now self-aware of styles that help your model render faster. You’ll notice “Fast Styles” badged in the styles window, including those you create yourself. What makes a style fast, you ask?Hungry for more details? Dig into our release notes.
When it comes to writing new tools for SketchUp, we shoot to make features feel as if you’ve been using them for years. Here what's new for 2015:
SketchUp 2015 features an official Rotated Rectangle tool, so you can now draw precise rectangles unbound by default axes. We have to say: driving this tool feels a little bit like riding a bike with no hands.
With our new 3-point Arc tool -- which defines bulges by choosing three points -- there are now four different ways to draw arc’ed edges.
We’ve overhauled LayOut’s Label tool. You can now conveniently place and align beautiful, two-segmented leader labels. We also made label text a lot smarter. Placing a label gives you the option to choose information you’d like to associate with it. Component attributes, BIM classifications, face areas: go on, label as you like

Smoothing our edges

In this release, we’ve rolled up our sleeves to improve things that affect how you try, buy, and use SketchUp.

SketchUp Pro licensing is now friendlier than
your favorite barista. Every SketchUp 2015 download starts with a 30-day
trial of Pro features. Even better, 2015 Pro licenses can be used on a
Mac or a PC. Enterprise and Network licenses? We made those way easier
too.

We’ve added a slew of new Ruby API features to help
SketchUp extension developers create tools that manage layers,
classifications, section cuts and more. Queue the next generation of
information modeling tools...
